The Lansing correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press, in speaking of the egregious
blunders discovered in the recount of the
vote for senator, had before the senatorial
committee. says: "Senstor RooF of Ionia,
SAYS there are 700 votes in his township and
that the count of the entire ticket was COM
pleted by eleven o'clock at night. The
method employed is to sort the tickets, and
those having slips upon them are sorted and
resorted, name after name, and counted as
readily as bank bills. No tallies, or skips, or
oral readings, but everything done in sys-
tematic and business-like manner" Paw
There were over 700 votes cast in this town,
and the tickets were badly split, straight
votes being the exception, and the count,
including the vote on the constitutional
amendments, was completed at half past nine
o'clock in the evening. The method of
counting was precisely that described by
Senator RooP, and is the method followed
here for many years. 1t is speedy, easy
and correct manner of counting, and one in
which sober election board-something
they don't always have in Detroit-need
make no mistakes. We, out here in the
country, know aothing about the city system
of counting by debts and credits, nor do We
want to know about it. Our system is per-
feet, plain and simple, and that is enough for
us Neither do we understand how election
inspectors in Detroit manage to get twelve or
fifteen dollars each for their services. Three
dollars il the outside figure with honest
boards in the country, and many of them
preside over larger polls than those of the
city. Some of the country inspectors could
astonish those city boards by the rapidity,
ease and accuracy with which they could
determine the result of their balloting. if
they could only have an opportunity.

Another Pledge Redeemed

The history of the republican party, from
the very day of its organization under the
historic oaks at Jackson, down to the present
moment, has been history of pledges made
and of pledges redeemed. BY the vote of
the republican members of the Michigan
senate on Thursday last, the last promise of
the republican party of Michigan was glori-
ously fulfilled.
At each political campaign since the sub
mission plank was inserted in the republican
platform at Kalamazoo, our political oppo-
nents have preached to their followers that
this pledge was unredeemed, this promise
unfullflled, and have argued that submission
would never De received at the hands of the
republican party, claiming that the promise
was insincere and never intended to be kept.
And this course has been steadily and per
sis.ently pursued, Notwithstanding the fact
that the republican strength in the legisla-
ture has never, until the present time, since
secure the passage of the submission resolu-
ton; and not withstanding the fact that, at
each subsequent session of the legislature
the question has been brought forward as a
republican measure and the republican mem
bers have, by the substantial unanimity OF
their votes in its favor, proved the good
faith Of the promise.
The present legislature being the first one
in which the republican strength was suffi
cient to pass the measure, and the first one
from which such action could reasonably
have been anticipated, it was confidently
expected and predicted that the people
would be allowed vote upon the question.
The republican press, republican leaders,
republican Legislators and the republican
party generally have, with one accord been
earnest and active in securing this most
desirable contamination. Early in the SEES
sion, pursuant to the recommendation of
both the incoming and outgoing governors
of the state, the measure was introduced
into both houses, and was among the very
first questions to be acted upon in the lower
house, where it received every republican
vote except one which, REINFORCED 10y ten
members of the opposition who were manly
enough to let principle rise above party, gave
the resolution more than the requisite two
thirds vote.
All eyes were then directed to the senate,
in which body similar measure was killed
two years ago because of a lack of sufficient
number of republican members to secure it's
adoption. II was we'll understood that this
year the republican senate could pass the
resolution if it would and, If it failed, the
republican party must properly be held liable
for such failure.
Under such circumstances, it was not TO
be wondered at that deep interest was felt
in the final result IF the struggle. The
event proved that the confidence of the true
friends Of temperance in the integrity of the
republican party and in the good faith of IFS
promises. was not misplaced. As tho roll
was called, every republican senator except
two, Messrs. SElM and HUnBE1L from
the Upper Peninsula, voted "Aye." while

amendment. 1t il claimed by Senator HUI
BEIL that, while he was personally in favor
of the measure and believed it ought TO be
submitted, his constituents urged him to
vote az he did; aud this was undoubtedly,
true TO "A large extent. Nevertheless, their
votes, to put 1t mildly, have not raised them
IN the estimation of the republicans of Mich.
tgan. and it will be strange if man with the
political ambitions and aspirations of Senator
HuBnELL does not, at some future day,
realize that his vote was sad mistake, not
only from moral or party standpoint, but
from the standpointo of personal interest aud
advantage. It il said that, had his vote been
actually needed to secure the passage of the
submission resolution, he would have cast it
in its favor. Perhaps this is true, and he
was, no doubt, very much relieved when he
found that such responsibility was not to be
thrust upon him. II would, however, have
becn more manly and would have shown
moro OF desire on their part to do that
which was right, had each of the above
named senators voted with their brother
republicans, instead of hocking with the
opposition. Had ia y taken that course
they would have possessed the esteem and
confidence OF the republican party of this
state to far greater extent than they do at
the present time.

A MIDNIGHT EPISODE.
A Broadway Residence Receives
A BurglariOus Call of
Short Duration.

The BAzoo yesterday, in both its
editions, contained a little item under
the head of "Sedalia Gossip" which
read:

The wedding last night at the Con-
gregational church was. despite the
heavy rain in the early part of the
evening, attended by a large and
fashionable gathering of friends.
Among them were Mr.. and Mrs. f..

who after the ceremony at the church,
attended the reception at the resi-.
dence of the brides uncle, Mr.. Abra-
ham Meyer. They reached home about
midnight and retired, when they heard
an unusual noise at one of the west
windows of the dwelling.
Mr.. Mcclellan and his wife imme-
diately proceeded to investigate
They went to the window whence the
noise proceeded and peeping cautious.

man, just outside, and another at the
fence, which surrounds the yard. Mr..
Mcclellan went back to his room and
secured a revolver, and then taking a
position, at the window, awaited de-
velopments. He pushed open the
Stats of the shutter, at the top, and
the outside man retreated slowly
across the yard. Then Mcclellan
blazed away, without result, once, and
again and again. At the last shot,
the low, heavy-set man tumbled over
the fence and was seen no more.
A little while afterward, man who
said he was policeman, called at
Mr.. E. Johnson's, next door to Nc
Clellan's, and asked what was all
the racket about, just before.

Andrew Carnegle's furnaces at

The SmithtOn Picnic.

From Circuit Clerk Fowler, it is
learned that the picnic at SmithtOn,
yesterday, was not largely attended,
although good time was had by all
who were present. The Otterville
lodges had light representation, and
those who went from Sedalia, did so
as individuals. One cause of the slim
attendance may be imputed to the
busy season among the farmers. The
Otterville people staid at home, on ac-
count of the death of one of their cit
liens, John B. Small, who, Wednes-
day, while plastering the Christian
church of Nebo, in Cooper county,
fell from the scatfold, a distance of
thirteen feet, and received injuries
from which he died yesterday. He

nent citizens and an active politician,

leaves a wife and seven children.

NOT SATISFIED.
He Takes an Extensive Trip to
Secure and Utilize New
Ideas and Principles.

Prof. G. w. Robbins, principal and
proprietor of the Central Business
College, Sedalia, left Friday evening
for an extended trip to various ed
ucstiOnal centers, for the purpose of
securing new ideas for his successful
school. He has the most improved
methods and appliances for the ed
ucation of the youth of both sexes,
already, but is not satisfied, until he
has the best and newest thong hts
and ideas of the most progressive
institutions of the land. Conse-
Guently, Mr.. Robbins left Friday
night, to be gone two weeks or more,
and in his trip will visit Burlington,
Iowa, Chicago, Valparaiso, Ind. I,
Cleveland, Ohio Rochester, \. Y.
and other places.
In connection with the departure
of Mr.. Robbins for the east, it may
not be inapropos to say that in the
four years since he founded the Gen.
trail Business College, he has had most
wonderful success. The attendance
of pupils from all points of the COM
pass and for great distances is steadily
increasing year by year, and the in
stitution is taxed to its utmost capa-
city to accommodate the patrons.
The secret Of Mr.. Robbins success
lies in several facts. He is a prac-
tical instructor of long experience,
thoroughly alive to the needs of the
age, progressive. and running over
with energy. His faculty is COM
posed of young, energetic teachers,
full of vim and enthusiasm and
thoroughly abreast with the times.
Everything is taught by precept and
example, in the very wise belief that
the worst disposed pupils will respect
consistency. No teacher Is employed
who does not give his entire time and
mind to the interests of the school.
None of the instructors are studying
law or medicine, or working up any
interests outside of the institution.
AS a consequence, the college is a live
and progressive school.
While the school is eminently cal.
culsted to bring out the latent power
of the idle and careless, those who
are industrious will find il
much more pleasant and profitable
than where his aicipline is loose. Mr..
Robbins wide experienc as Q teach.
er of youth and his fine executive
ability has made the Central Business
College one of the most thorough in
situations in the United States, and il
will soon be, at Its present rate oil
growth, the largest.
